[CQ-Contest] CQ WW CW 2014 Results

[Mark van Wijk, PA5MW]

Your logging program only tells you that because you are somehow connected 
to a 'QSO alerting assistance'.

The example below might prove you did not cheat, it does prove that somehow 
you have put yourself in a 'risk situation'.
You need to check up-front about the weather, how well your (and only your) 
signal goes out, what others think of it, which dx-pedition is on, what 
propagation forecast tells you, etc etc etc....

UN -assisted means you should not be connected to any 
website/packet/telephone/whatever outside alerting_informing source.
In fact your home should be totally disconnected from any outside media.
I have all connections to the outer world switched off. Not even my e-mail 
is on during a non-assisted contest.

Don't go the route 'but if etc.. ' Prove by all means that this is totally 
you alone doing all in a contest.
And be proud of it.

Hello Peter,

2. QSO alerting assistance: The use of any technology or other source
that provides call sign or multiplier identification along with
frequency information to the operator.
-------------

When my logging program tells me I have been spotted it provides me
two informations, my own callsign and the frequency I am running on.

My own callsign is not a workable callsign nor a workable multiplier
for me so I am confident I am not cheating if I claim Unassisted.
